Just a few thoughts
Beginning of the year for many businesses means embarking on new projects. If this is you, below are great links for strategy, hiring, and building design. If that’s not your focus, it’s also local comp season, and high level comps are in full swing too. In the UK the Four Nation Cup Series begins in a few days, and the first Ice Climbing World Cup just wrapped in South Korea. Also big news from CEC which got an official training center and new member organization representing Manitoba.
